Black History Month
As you are aware, February is Black History Month! I am very excited about the children's book project that some Statesman Time groups are participating in with our elementary schools and Ambrose! Today, I recorded read alouds of three students from Principal's Council to add to our Hixson Middle School Children's Books Playlist that will be sent to the elementary schools and Ambrose. Their teachers will play the videos for their students to help educate them on Black history. It is not too late to join this project. It is open to anyone! For example, I plan to record Hey Black Child this weekend and add the recording to the playlist. It is my absolute favorite book to read to my daughter. If you are interested in making a recording, please follow the instructions below.
If you are including students in your video, check the media exclusion list first.
Record your video.
Upload your video to YouTube.
Check “yes” this is for children.
Make the link private and copy and paste the link onto the playlist Google Doc. Include title, author and description.
Dr. Mayes will share the “playlist” with the other Principals.
You can put as many videos as you want on the playlist.
Staffing update
Our new Clinic Aide's name is Angela Myles, and she starts on Monday! After she gets situated on Monday, I will send out more info about Ms. Myles!

Protocol for reporting COVID related absences
If you are experiencing COVID-like symptoms and therefore need to get tested, please send an email to Shenita Mayes and Human Resources (hrc@wgmail.org) explaining your situation, and enter the absence in Aesop as soon as possible. This same process applies if you need to care for a child or family member who has COVID or needs to get tested for COVID. I am trying to keep very close tabs on the progression of COVID in the building, and I need your prompt communication in order to do that.
Generally speaking, the sooner you enter an absence into Aesop, the better, regardless of the reason.
